Bmi Usa 4950 Brass Pipe Nipple 2 Inch X 5 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4950 is a lead-free brass threaded pipe nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing, and fluid-handling systems where lead-free compliance is required. Measuring 2 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length, this nipple connects threaded pipe sections and fittings in standard plumbing assemblies. Constructed from solid brass, it delivers reliable corrosion resistance and durability in both hot and cold water service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of branch connections, riser assemblies, and close-coupled fitting configurations. The red finish aids in identification during installation and inspection.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications, including supply lines, distribution manifolds, and fixture connections. Its lead-free construction makes it appropriate for potable water systems governed by state and federal lead-free mandates. The NPT threading on both ends ensures compatibility with standard threaded fittings, valves, and pipe. Plumbers working on drinking water, hot water heating, and general fluid-transfer systems will find this a direct-fit threaded connector in common plumbing configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for potable water service to the NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
